My son is planning on transferring to a school closer to home (<3 hours away) and we're looking for schools that are generous with scholarships for transfer students.
He is a sophomore at a T50 in California (that I will not name for privacy reasons) and is in the 3.5~3.75 GPA range. Also we don't live in Virginia or Maryland. |

Since we don't know where you are, how are we supposed to help you with schools closer to your home? Go have another cup of coffee and repost. |

| Highly unlikely to receive a transfer scholarship. They simply don’t exist. |

See: https://www.goingmerry.com/blog/scholarships-for-transfer-students/ https://www.scholarshippoints.com/scholartips/scholarships-for-transfer-students/ Another option: long for a naturally cheap English-language bachelor’s in Europe in a place with a low cost of living: https://www.unipage.net/en/universities_europe_affordable |

| Let him go to your state college. |

| Some schools actually post in their website how much merit $ they will give to a student with a certain gpa/standardized test score - whether a combo or either/or. Not sure how those scales apply to transfers, but that could be a place to start your inquiries. |
